ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the spatial variation in housing rent in the Calabar metropolis of Cross River State Nigeria. Five specific objectives were stated and broken into five research questions with a null and alternate hypothesis. Related literature was collected and adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised 371,022 in the study. The instruments for data collection were a questionnaire and an oral interview. The data obtained after the survey was analyzed using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), The result revealed that there is a significant difference between rental values in the Calabar metropolis, which is affected by certain factors such as security, infrastructural facilities, social amenities, road accessibility and location amongst others. Accordingly, it was recommended that the government should ensure that land developers have more interest in building medium and low-cost housing with high levels of quality and quantity.
